Cabin: Mid-Ship Balcony

Great ports of call. Bottom line is we enjoyed the ports of call, the amenities aboard not so much. Service at times a bit lax. Disembarkation very disorganized twice when tenders were used. Dining in Garden Café was hat good and not much varied day-to-day. It was actually quite boring. Although the food was excellent in the specialty restaurants. We do not drink alcohol and asked the gift bottle of champagne be replaced with sparkling water. That request was denied. However, sparkling water was delivered to our cabin and we were charged for it.

Accommodations for handicapped inadequate. This a difficult ship for people with mobility handicaps to get off or on in ports of call. The crew were, on several occasions, rude to people with handicaps.

We chose to book private tours on 3 occasions for the simple reason that we could see and visit what we wanted to rather than accept the NCL offerings. As it turned out, the private tours were more inclusive and less costly than the NCL offerings.

Mid-Ship Balcony

Cabin BA

The cabin was fine. The cabin stewart did a good job after the 2nd day. We do not drink alcohol so the gift of champaigne was not something we wanted. We asked to substutute sparkling water, but were refused. However, sparkling water was deliever4ed and we were charged for it.
